World Water Day: Protecting the Human Right to Water

Published Jan 13, 2022

This year marks the 50th anniversary of the Clean Water Act, a landmark water protection legislation of the last century. However, in the time since, our water infrastructure has aged, corporations have taken control of public water systems, and Wall Street has begun gambling on communities’ water resources.

## Featuring:

Food & Water Watch believes water is a human right and a public trust resource – not a commodity – and we fight to protect access to public water for all. Join us on World Water Day to hear from experts and community leaders about how we can pass the WATER Act, stop water privatization and ensure clean, affordable water for all.
